Proverbs 17:8-10

⁸A precious stone most acceptable is the abiding of him that seeketh; whither ever he turneth himself, he understandeth prudently.

⁹He that covereth trespass, seeketh friendships; he that rehearseth by an high word, separateth them that be knit together in peace.

¹⁰A blaming profiteth more at a prudent man, than an hundred wounds at a fool.
